Hades, Lord of Death and God of the Underworld, is bored. Residing in Tartarus gets tiring for a God. So he decides to visit Equestria for a bit. And maybe make new allies so he can take over Olympus. ·RainbowBob

I must just put this out here, Snarkle, this is a truly wonderful story. And it will always have a special place in my heart as the first fan fiction I've ever read and is ultimately the entire reason I'm on this website today.

I know it sounds corny writing this out, but...dude, this is just incredible.

Friendship is Magic meets Sonic the Hedgehog. My two favorite things meet, and it actually works. You sir (Or madam) made my crappy day ten times better, and for that you have earned a favorite and, more importantly, my sincere thanks.

Sure, sure, the story has a lovely, almost saccharine air to it, but just look at what happened - he was changed, against his will, both physically, and , more terrifyingly, mentally.

Now, obviously, if these changes were but natural consequences of him entering into Equestria, this would be all well and good - one cannot question the morality of natural processes, after all.

But you indicate _very strongly_ that all these changes were brought about by direct manipulation by Luna.

I can't _begin_ to describe how strongly I disagree with that.

Whilst the idea that simply being in Equestria could cause these changes is worrying, at the very least you can comfort yourself in that it is a natural process - quite likely, something that would be reversed should one leave. But a deliberate action by someone else? Not only is it most contemptible, but ...

No wait, it is simply most contemptible - I can add nothing to that statement without repeating myself.

Anyway, I did enjoy this quite a bit - before you introduced the questionable morality, that is.

I remember reading this a long while back and I'd forgotten the title! It's fantastic. I don't believe I've ever seen another stranger-in-Equestria story where there's actually a language barrier. Even just that part alone makes the world seem so much larger than can be described in 10,000 words. And of course, it continues to get better from there. All this while being a Sonic crossover of all things. Veritable witchcraft.

Writing crossover stories can sometimes be a complicated process. It's easy to imagine a character from a game, a movie, or a book suddenly arrive in Equestria and interact with the ponies there. But what's much harder is to make such a story interesting and compelling. What struggles will the crossover character go through? What will he/she learn from this adventure? How can the writer make sure that the story doesn't sound forced or like it was just written without a bigger purpose or moral? I've seen many stories fall for such traps, which often ends them up as mediocre or forgetable.

This fic, Mr. Snarkle, is far from such a story. You've taken a concept that can often be looked upon as unoriginal and easy to write for others, and given it both a deeper look into the crossover character's personality, and placed him in a story scenario that doesn't sound absurd. Fans of MLP can enjoy this story for the lesson about redemption you put in it, like the lessons of friendship in the actual show. And fans of Sonic can enjoy this for the way you treat a seemingly one-dimensional villain with respect and thought, knowing that he has his own character and reasons for how and why he acts.

It's refreshing to see someone make the effort to write a story like this one, and it glads me to see you pull it off. I hope you'll find similar success in your future works.

Dude I remember this! It's freaking awesome! I mean, if not for a sonic crossover done well (which is pretty rare in itself), you have to like it for the fantastic world-building! And Eggman being redeemed and stuff is done so well, you could seriously believe it!

Wow, this is wonderful! Your Robotnik's narration reminds me a lot of Doctor Impossible from "Soon I Will Be Invincible", appropriately enough. Can't wait to read the sequel! (In fact, I don't even have to wait, I'm going to read it now ^^)

This was an amazing story. You got every part of Eggman's (or should I say Ivo Robotnick?) personality right and the changes in his personality felt far from rushed. And I just love how his life now is. Welp, let's read the sequel!

Depending on whether you read the comics, or go by the games, his name could also be "Kintobor".

Anyways, Amazing story, it really captures how remorseful Robotnik would be. Makes me feel a bit sorry for beating him in the games, if he were to turn out like this. Then again, he ended up happy in the end, so, and the tie in with Celestia and Luna makes it all the better.

A very beautiful, well written story. It was most enjoyable. I like to see that Ivo Robotnik found a way to live free of his old life, and picturing him as a pony is pretty funny. Well designed Cutie Mark, too.

And Luna's the one who turned him into a pony? Wonder how he'll react when/if he learns that, and what else she's capable of.
